Abstract

Background: L- carnitine deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially thosewho are in regular dialysis. L- carnitine deficiency associated with high incidence of oxidative stress,dyslipidemia and impaired cardiac performance. The present study tends to evaluate the effect of L-carnitinesupplement on cardiac output in patients with chronic kidney disease on regular hemodialysis.Methods: the current study included 105 patients with chronic kidney disease, they were randomly selectedfrom patients attending artificial kidney unit at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in Thiqar city for regularhemodialysis. They were divided into two groups, group I include 35 patients with chronic kidney diseasewho did not receive L- carnitine and considered as control group, group II include 70 patients with chronickidney disease who receive L- carnitine. patients of group II further divided into two subgroups depending ondose of L- carnitine. Group II(A), include 35 patients with chronic kidney disease who received L- carnitine10/kg body weight one time daily and group II(B): include 35 patients with chronic kidney disease whoreceived L- carnitine 10/kg body weight two time daily. Ejection fraction was determined by transthoracicechocardiography. Frequency, percentage, association, paired t-test were used for analysis of variables. Allvariables represented by mean ± SD. P value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant.Results: There was statistically significant increase in the mean of EF% (P<0.001) among patients withchronic kidney disease who receive L- carnitine in a dose of 10mg/Kg body weight twice daily (group IIB)after six months of treatment in comparison with the baseline values. There was a slight but significant (p<0.05) increase in the mean of EF% in patients with chronic kidney disease who received single daily doseof L- carnitine 10mg/Kg body weight (group IIA) after six months in comparison with the initial values atthe beginning of the study. Conclusion: carnitine supplement in a suitable dose seem to improve cardiac performance among patientswith chronic kidney diseases on regular hemodialysis.

Abstract

Background:-Human umbilical cord blood- mesenchymal stem cells(HUCB-MSCs) hold great promise invitro neural differentiation and therapy for neurodegenerative disorders. It has demonstrated that the numberand differentiating potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) decrease with age. Therefore,the search for alternative sources of MSCs is of significant value.Objective:-To determine the possibility of obtaining clonally expanded UCB-MSCs and evaluate their rapidinduction and differentiation into neural cells in vitro.Methods:-MSCs were isolated from HUCB by combining gradient density centrifugation with plasticadherence. In order to identify factors that able to lead to neural differentiation, the cultured cells weretreated with retinoic acid (RA) and B-mercaptoethanol (BME). Differentiating characterization of UCBMSCswere detected by immunocytochemistry analysis.Results:-UCB-MSCs appeared like the fibroblast cell and these cells were extensively expanded in culture.The results showed that UCB-MSCs were positive for CD71and CD90 but were negative for CD34. Theimmunocytochemistry staining indicated that the differentiated cells give positive response for nestinemarker. The result confirmed for neural progenitor differentiation of MSCs.Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed that UCB provides a great source of stem cells for using intreatment of neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system.
